Peter

Peter founded PAN as the combination of decades of work to unlock the amazing potential of people and ideas to affect positive change.

Peter’s mantra is M.A.D. (Make A Difference), which combines his business acumen, with seminal experiences working in communities that face far greater challenges than he ever imagined. Further to this, he understands the impact that business can have in changing the world for good. PAN is not an investment firm but a way of thinking that challenges paradigms and the conventional way of doing business. Peter is also the Global Chair of Global Citizen, and a trustee and Chair of the Collingwood Football Club Foundation.

Nick

Nick is a no-nonsense bloke who likes getting stuck into the numbers and making businesses great again. Nick seems to have a photographic memory of every business he’s been involved in, and has never met a balance sheet he didn’t like. His innate ability to find EBIT where there seemingly is none has seen him nail operations across a wide range of industries. He prides himself on these insights, and being able to accurately assess the financial health of current and future ventures.

Nick started his career as an auditor, but it didn’t take long before he got fed up with Corporate Australia and started PAN with Peter. Now, he loves maximising the potential of PAN’s investments, and proving that with the right management team, the right people, and the right idea – there is no limit.

Paul

Paul brings decades of knowledge and experience to PAN. This derives from his 35-year career in engineering, which culminated in nine years as CEO of Aurecon – one of the world’s leading engineering firms with around 7,500 staff, $1.2 billion revenue, and operations in 50 countries. This journey took Paul to places like the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and South America, where countless infrastructure developments would create value and opportunities for emerging markets.

Having seen the throes of what multinational corporations can offer, Paul now lends his experience to a range of organisations at board level, including the Collingwood Football Club Foundation, St Vincent’s Health Australia, and Citywide.

Andrew

As a child of the 80’s, I fell in love with technology at an early age. Mum was a primary school teacher in a regional Australian town who helped other teachers learn how to use computers. As a result, I could use the school’s BBC Micro during holidays and it wasn’t long before I was hooked.

For me, a big part of building PAN is to create an environment that intersects my love for technology and my background in business. With the right approach, technology is a loudspeaker that amplifies passion and drives change. Working with smart, driven people and watching their idea come to life is an incredibly rewarding experience and I’m very lucky to be part of it.
